Run

49m 52s

5.05 miles

09m 52s /Mi

Ok, THAT was hard! Ran the ridge by my mothers house. 0.7mi warm-up then it was up 675' over next 2.1 miles. Then back down over the next 1.3 miles where 3/4 of that was a dirt road. Walked for a bit during the ascent where angle was ~17% for about 0.2 miles, thought my heart was going to blow, then again during the descent where footing got pretty bad on a real steep part. Ran the back way into the neighborhood and pushed the last rolling part because it felt so easy. Wished I had a HRM for this run!

OK have the long run for Wed planned out. I'm going to attack Mnt Hope/Crescent/Forest Aves and loop it for 4.5 miles, its either 675' of climbing in 2.1 miles or 1.3 miles depending which way I start out...
